At the risk of sounding like an unabashed self promotion........you just wrote on a page of a great "How To Book", The-Gauge !
Just about every technique, or material, over a wide range of eras, and building styles are here somewhere, and in just about every scale. This forum would be a good start: http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=53
Some of the "challenges" , and many of the posts by other members contain lots of information about scratchbuilding, including.....adhesives, materials, cutting, painting, weathering, soldering, jig making, and many many more.
There are a number of members here modeling the same era ( 50's ), and there are lots of photos. Best of all, you can ask "the authors" questions about "How To", and get answers !
Oh !! One more thing......

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
